I am very happy taking voice lessons with Lilly as evidenced by me willing to drive an hour to see her. She has a lot of knowledge and experience in singing and therefore understands my needs so that I can produce what she asks me to. I had no singing ability in the beginning and I was so embarrassed by my voice I couldn't even sing when I was alone. Now, I feel encouraged by the progress I have made and would highly recommend Lilly as a voice instructor.

Lilly is an absolutely wonderful teacher for my 4.5 year old daughter. She adapts her teaching style and engages my daughter (who adores Ms. Lilly). I am so glad we found her and highly recommend her!

I have had one lesson with Mr. Arron and it is enough to tell that he is a great teacher. He clearly knows how to play guitar. He is both encouraging and firm. He explained to me the expectations for my practice and what he wants me to learn by next week, I am very happy to have him as my guitar teacher.He is an amazing talent and provides me with much needed inspiration.

About Won L.

I am a native Korean and I am aware of active Korean cultures. I was born and raised in Korea for 15 years and visiting Korea every year. Without understanding the culture, the language can not be learned perfectly. So I talk a lot about Korean cultures and life styles of its own as well while teaching the language. I also think that learning should be fun. Let's have a blast!

About Won

I lived in Korea for over 15 years and came to the States. I am a native Korean speaker and aware of active Korean cultures. I am a full time Graphic Designer. Being a firm believer that cultural competency is deeply related to its language and without understanding the culture, the language can not be learned perfectly. So I talk a lot about Korean cultures and life styles of its own while teaching the language. I also think that learning should be fun.

Anyone who wants to learn Korean both for fun and serious matter will be more than welcomed. I am bilingual speaking both English and Korean. Please contact me if you plan to visit Korea individually or in a group and would like to learn Korean beforehand or simply for any reasons. I will make your learning fun and easy.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Jenna Hummel October 5, 2017·Korean·In studio

Dear SooJi,

You asked for my thoughts on you as a teacher, but I don't think I'll be able to explain those very easily. Your impact on my life is more than I can explain or show. Of all the things I've learned from you, I consider Korean to be of a lesser importance than the life lessons, friendship, and communication skills you've taught me, whether on purpose or not. I'm thankful for everything you've done for me. I'll never forget how understanding and compassionate you are, and I can only hope to grow up and be half the person you are now. In all honesty, you're the best teacher I've ever had, and now I can understand what people mean when they say "This teacher shaped who I am today" and I'll never forget on stop being thankful to them.
Thank you for being you<3 Thank you for being the best Korean/Life teacher <3 Thank you for being the most passionate, true, and honest teacher <3

Angel Hummel October 2, 2017·Korean·In studio

SooJi.. I don't even know where to begin. She is an amazing teacher and just an amazing human being in general. I pick up things very easy but for some reasons, Korean was and is a real challenge for me. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe because I want to learn this more than anything else? Maybe my brain wants to work harder to get where my heart is? Who knows, but I do know why I'm ven progressing in this challenge. A good teacher can inspire hope, stimulate the imagination, and install love of learning. If that quote had a title, it would be SooJi. She is truly my only role model. I'm not exactly sure why she is this to me, but she is. I respect her so much and she inspires me all the time. Honestly, I can't imagine my life without her in it. SooJi means so much to me. More than what can be expressed with pretty little words. A teacher is supposed to give hope to students, but she does so much more. She IS so much more. She isn't just a teacher any more. She is my friend, my role model, my sister. Because of her, hears have changed, hearts have healed, and bonds have been created that some blonde little girls can't get anywhere else. Yes, sometimes SooJi criticizes us, but that's she's supposed to do. We know she cares even more when she does this because she wants us to grow. Without her, I don't think I would know anything nearly as close to what I know now. Not just the language, but also the culture. I wish to always have someone like SooJi in my life, someone who inspires and loves me. I miss you SooJi! Honestly, She is just too phenomenal. She has a natural give of teaching, making jokes with people, making students feel comfortable. She is excellent. I love her so much <3

Karen Hummel October 2, 2017·Korean·In studio

My daughters started taking Korean lessons from SooJi about a year ago. SooJi teaches her grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and conversational phrases. My daughters' Korean language skills have improved dramatically with SooJi's teaching. SooJi explains things in a way that is easy to understand and her teaching has been a positive influence on my daughter.

Review by 재키 Jackie

"Youngju Lee is an amazing instructor. There are just not enough good things I can say about this instructor to give her full justice. She is patient, tho

rough, and has the ability to key into individual student strength and weakness. Her ability to change and adapt to individual learning style has been wonderful. I personally struggle with language. I been studying Korean on and off for many years, with no success. Now I feel I have finally found the instructor that can teach me this language and keep me motivated. I have always had the problem of staying motivate in my studies, however her lessons are so well done that I am engaged though out the entire lesson. When you find that special instructor keep them, cherish them, and treat them as well as you would treat your own family."

Review by Youngju

"Hello, I have worked at Kodaikanal International School in India for three years. KIS received the #1 school award by Educational World in India in 2013.

It’s a co-ed residential school with beautiful surroundings on a high mountain. It was my honor to have my teaching history there with my terrific students and professional colleagues. I would like to share my recommendation from my principal here. You can find the original copy in my photos:

9 May 2012To Whom It May ConcernIt gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation on behalf of Youngju Lee. Youngju has taught Korean language and Arts at Kodaikanal International School since July 2009.

Kodaikanal International School is an international school located in Tamil nadu India in South India since 1901, making it one of the oldest schools in the country. It was originally a school for American missionaries. It has been an international school since 1974 and currently has a student body representing some 30 nationalities drawn primarily from within India but also in lesser numbers from various geographical regions that include countries located in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. KIS has also been a preferred choice of families of Indian origin settled abroad when they have wanted their children to have exposure to India and Indian culture because of its multicultural approach and the diversity of the staff and student body.

Youngju is an excellent teacher and I have enormous respect for her work in the classroom. She works well with students, is positive influence with the students and is able to encourage them to achieve their best. She uses a variety of approaches in her classes from group and individual work. She establishes a good relationship with her students, explains things carefully, prepares well and has a very effective yet relaxed delivery style. She has a positive rapport with her students and they demonstrate mutual respect and they enjoy learning. Students feel well supported in her class and enjoy her classes. She also cares for her students outside of the classroom and follows up on any concerns she or others may have of an individual.

Youngju has played an active role in extracurricular activities through her participation as chaperone on field trips, organizing events and student activities.

Youngju and her husband Stephen have settled well into the broader community in Kodaikanal and enjoy their life here with their family very much. In conclusion, I believe Youngju would make a good contribution to any school community. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information about Youngju Lee.I recommend her wholeheartedly as an exceptional teacher and wish her well.If more job specific information is required please contact me on principal@kis.in or on my mobile #----------.
